Xie Le turned around and stared into Liu Yucheng's eyes. Something came to his lips and he opened his mouth but still didn't say it.
"Okay, let's go in and sit down. If the news gets out and you can't marry anyone, just marry me." Liu Yucheng turned around and pulled Xie Le into the house with a smile.
Xie Le couldn't tell if this was a joke, but he planned to take it seriously, even if it was just wishful thinking.
Xie Le didn't insist anymore. As soon as he entered the room, a scent hit his face. The smell was light and not boring, it was very comfortable, and it was the same as the scent on Liu Yucheng's body.
Liu Yucheng's room is larger than Xie Le's small utility room, and there are more items inside than when he came here before, but it doesn't look messy. Everything is placed just right, making it look natural and comfortable.
There were several stools beside the small round table. Xie Le and Liu Yucheng sat face to face with their backs to the bed.
After a moment of silence, Liu Yucheng was about to get up: "I bought some new clothes, please help me see if they look good."
"Wait a minute." Xie Le raised his head and looked at Liu Yucheng.
Liu Yucheng sat down again and looked at Xie Le. He felt that his eyes were serious. He remembered what he had just said and felt a little shy and lowered his gaze a little.
Xie Le took a deep breath. He was always evasive about his emotions. He was afraid of losing and dared not express them. He chose to settle for the next best thing. But in just a moment, Xie Le figured out that Liu Yucheng would always get married. If she didn't have time to express her feelings before getting married, she would definitely regret it, even if she gradually became distant from him.
"Liu Yucheng, I like you." Xie Le exhaled softly and said.
There is no euphemism, no excessive embellishment, or even more foreshadowing explanations. Just a few words to express my inner emotions in the most straightforward and simple way.
Liu Yucheng stood up and walked to the window: "Well, that's it, I understand."
Xie Le looked at Liu Yucheng's hair that was touched by the breeze and her calm tone, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "That's it, it's true, but this kind of reaction is good, I don't need to be too reserved, just be as usual." .
Liu Yucheng looked at the goldfish in the pond outside the window. The gentle breeze made her hot face feel much better. Although she often imagined Xie Le showing affection for her in various scenarios, she had never imagined it like today. Development, everything today is so unpredictable. And actually hearing Xie Le say it still made me blush.
Feeling that his face was much better, Liu Yucheng walked towards his bed. When he came behind Xie Le, he turned around and hugged Xie Le from behind: "Me too, hehe."
Xie Le reacted from his dazed state and raised his head. Liu Yucheng put his face against Xie Le's forehead. Xie Le saw Liu Yucheng's crescent-like eyes.
Shufengba, inside the general camp.
There was an eagle standing on Ye Wujiang's left shoulder, and he was reading the message written on the note in his hand. After reading it, he threw it to the candlestick next to him. The note fluttered above the flames for a while and turned into ashes.
Fan Shihao sat in front of the sand table and raised his head and asked, "What did the Holy One say?"
"I hope we will build fortresses, city walls and beacon towers at regular intervals on the border. After the repairs are completed, a certain number of troops will be stationed in the imperial city to prevent remnants from joining forces with foreign races to invade the border and disrupt people's livelihood." Fan Shihao frowned. This is not a small project, and it will take a certain amount of time.
"If it is repaired, the benefits are self-evident, but where will the construction materials come from? It is impossible to transport the front part from the towns near the border. In that case, it will inevitably waste people and money, and the newly stabilized people's hearts will be confused again." Fan Shihao said. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the roof of the tent.
"Yeah. It's not easy to do this." Ye Wujiang walked to the entrance of the tent, fed the eagle on his shoulder some meat, shook his shoulders, and the eagle flew to another tent not far away. Soldiers put it in a cage.
If it is repaired, it will be very difficult and it will waste people and money; if it is not repaired, it will be impossible to prevent the remnants and invasions of foreign races.
"The remnants of the previous dynasty forced the tribes outside the country and harassed the border towns in an attempt to seize the opportunity. As soon as they received the news of our arrival, they disappeared without a trace. They were also fearful and attacked from the east to the west. There are also foreign tribes who are eyeing it. They want to repair, and they must repair." Fan Shihao After a moment of silence he came to a conclusion.
"Let me think about it again." Fan Shihao walked out of the general camp.
Looking at Fan Shihao's back, Ye Wujiang also returned to the tent. He had always been prejudiced against Fan Shihao before, but since he knew that he was so efficient in doing things, his prejudice has disappeared a lot, but there is still some.
In Ye Wujiang's view, Fan Shihao was weak and had not experienced the battlefield. If the war started, he would have to protect him carefully if he was here, so he would still restrict his movements to some extent.
In his tent, Fan Shihao sat in front of the table and tapped the tabletop with one hand. To repair it, it is better to say that it has been decided, rather than that it must be repaired after the emperor issued an order. It is not advisable to avoid the waste of people and money, so the only way is to reduce it as much as possible. Now that we have the direction, all that remains is how to implement it. Hey, it's still difficult. What about so many civil servants staying in the imperial city? Aren’t you usually very eloquent? Why is there only a purpose but no implementation plan this time?
Fan Shihao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen the construction of similar large projects somewhere. Although he didn't know much about it, he had heard about it.
To transport materials over long distances, the construction period will inevitably be greatly extended and the cost will also increase. Then use local materials and build with whatever is nearby. Of course, this will lead to uneven quality, so in some important places, such as local If you don’t have suitable items, you may still choose to transport them from other places.
If the person responsible for the construction requisitions a large number of people, the people will definitely collapse, and it is impossible to mobilize all the imperial troops, leaving the imperial city empty. Then let the city lords of nearby towns, officials, and all the people with salary in the army set an example and let them repair it. At the same time, let the people participate freely, and the wages will be relatively generous.
Now we still need an edict from the emperor to send this plan to the imperial city now.
Fan Shihao walked out of the tent excitedly, only to find that the sky had darkened, the moon was shrouded in thin clouds, and the moonlight was even hazier. However, Fan Shihao had no time to appreciate it, so he rushed straight to Ye Wujiang's tent and told Ye Wujiang the plan.
Ye Wujiang was stunned after hearing this. He was shocked by this attention. This was definitely a bold attempt. There was no such precedent in any previous dynasty.
The two quickly wrote down, stamped their respective seals, and put them into the mailbox. They immediately fetched the eagle cage, tied the mailbox to the eagle's feet, touched its head, and the eagle cried out like an arrow. , now whether this attention can be recognized depends on what the old guys in the imperial city and the emperor think.
In the small house, Xie Le sat by the bed and looked at the moonlight outside the window. He suddenly felt a responsibility. He wanted to give Liu Yucheng a good life and buy her delicious snacks and nice clothes. In the future, I will no longer be able to muddle along as a person, but I must also be able to protect her.
Fan Shihao's figure appeared in Xie Le's mind again. Don't worry, they can't hurt us at all if they work together. It’s just that the scene changed to Xie Le and Liu Yucheng.
Half an hour before Mao Shi, Xie Le turned over and sat up. The soreness and swelling in his waist and arms proved that Xie Le's strength during yesterday's boxing practice was correct.
After packing up, he walked back to the martial arts field.
In fact, Xie Le was not a perseverant person. The pain in his body, the cold wind that made him shiver, and his sleep-deprived brain all made Xie Le think about letting it go and not going there again. Anyway, I am just a doctor who treats diseases and sells medicine, and everyone respects me. My income can fully meet my daily needs, and the public security in the town is also very good.
Practicing martial arts is also a spur of the moment. Although I admire Fan Shihao's superb martial arts, it can't be practiced in a short while. I still have shops to visit and many things to do. How can I compare with those of them who have been taught by famous teachers since childhood, besides practicing martial arts?
Blood feud? I didn't want to repay the job, and I didn't have the ability. I just wanted to be an ordinary person, living an ordinary life, and being ordinary.
Pooh! Excuse! If possible, who wouldn’t want to be promoted to a higher position and become rich and prosperous? I just didn’t want to work hard, so I was willing to accept my mediocrity and started to find a step for myself. It was attributed to my character and environment.
Wu Wenlong was still waiting for Xie Le outside the door. Looking at Xie Le's hands and feet trembling slightly, he knew that although it was Xie Le's first time yesterday, he had worked hard. I still remember the soreness in my muscles after practicing martial arts for the first time. Xie Le's thin body can still hold on today, which is really good. There are also many people in the city guard who are fishing in troubled waters.
"I came quite early today." Wu Wenlong greeted Xie Le.
Xie Le looked at Wu Wenlong and smiled: "Brother Wu, you don't have to wait for me at the door every day, I can find him."
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll wait for you somewhere." Wu Wenlong also smiled and walked into the martial arts training ground with Xie Le.
Xie Le came to where he was yesterday and learned to move his muscles like the people around him. Now that he had made up his mind, he couldn't just do it perfunctorily.
............................
............
After today's training, Xie Le was on his way back.
After this training, you will be covered in sweat and your muscles will be sore the next day. If you take a hot bath, you can wash away the sweat and relax your muscles to reduce the soreness the next day. How about opening the drug store later in the future. Anyway, there aren't many people seeing doctors and buying medicine in the morning, so Liu Yucheng can rest a little longer. I also moved back to the second floor of the drug store, which is more convenient.
Back at the drug store, Liu Yucheng came to sort out the medicine early today. Hearing the sound, Liu Yucheng turned around and found Xie Le, and immediately narrowed his eyes into a thin line: "You're back."
"Well, I'm back." Seeing Liu Yucheng's smiling face, Xie Le laughed himself.
"I have already heated the hot water for you. You can go and take a comfortable hot bath. You can leave it to me in the store. I am very busy in the morning anyway." Liu Yucheng said with a smile, "I am Isn’t it very caring and gentle?”
Liu Yucheng knew that Xie Le had directly rinsed him with cold water yesterday in order to clean up quickly.
"Then there are people who say they are considerate and gentle?" Xie Le joked and went upstairs.
"Ah, Xie Le, why didn't I find you so annoying before? I'm so angry that I won't boil water for you anymore, hum ╯^╰" Liu Yucheng turned around angrily and continued to sort out the medicinal materials.
Xie Le sat in the bathtub and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's exactly what I thought. Taking a hot bath is very comfortable."
After changing clothes, he walked downstairs and saw Liu Yucheng sitting on the bench with his back to him, still angry, and Xie Le sat next to her. Liu Yucheng immediately moved a little to the side and turned his head to the side, not looking at Xie Le.
"Are you still angry? I'm just teasing you." Xie Le leaned towards Liu Yucheng and filled the space just vacated.
Liu Yucheng said nothing and leaned to the side again.
Xie Le didn't say anything, smiled and leaned over again.
The two of them moved like this little by little. Suddenly Xie Le grabbed Liu Yucheng's hand and pulled it towards him. Liu Yucheng had no time to react and leaned into Xie Le's arms. He could clearly feel Xie Le's breath, and suddenly felt His face was hot and he lowered his head.
Liu Yucheng's heart was pounding when he heard Xie Le whisper in his ear: "If you go a little further, you will fall."
"Humph, it's not like you want to bully me." Liu Yucheng stood up immediately and glared at Xie Le fiercely.
Xie Le looked up at Liu Yucheng with an innocent face, and their glasses simultaneously curved into crescent moons.
